I always thought they were dumb too. I don't even have any anymore. I gave them all to my brother bc he collects them like a weirdo.

Old USAF/AMMO here, they were used to get free drinks, WW2 pilots showed medals(coins) to prove allied forces, now they're overs-used.

They didn't have those when I was in. I don't understand that at all.

Just another form of pissing contest. "It's all about who you know" kinda thing.

It used to be a fun drinking game because they were really hard to earn, but now they hand them out for all kinds of silly reasons.

When we went back to Iraq they were handing them out like candy. Back in the day being coined was pretty rare so it actually meant something

What's a challenge coin?
A coin you carry to prove you are part of an organization. When challenged by another member you have to show your coin.
